Read my post. Draftees wouldn't be driving, they'd be doing entry level work. Besides, we did ok during WWII w 66% of the force were conscripts.


During WWII there was a pretty clear and defined mission. A purpose that had a clear threat and a 'fairly' clear end state. These days, I just see a bunch of malingering were there to be a draft. Military (at least Army and Marines) is still turning away enough applicants that a bunch of unwilling snowflakes will bring nothing to the table.


Liberalism; The impossible yet accepted notion that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
